5 Foods You Must Try In Bavaria

Bavaria is the southern most region of Germany. It’s known for it’s capital city, Munich, it’s dramatic and historic castles, and for it’s breathtaking countryside from deep forests, to bright blue lakes, to the rolling foothills of the Alps… but, you guessed it, that’s not all. Bavaria is arguably Germany’s most famous food region and no one need question why. You’ll certainly recognize some of the Bavarian classics on this list because over the years the word and recipes have spread and they’ve become international favorite foods, but there is truly nothing like the original. After my recent exploration of the area, and it’s cuisine, I’ve narrowed down to my top five. These are the foods you absolutely must try when you visit Bavaria, Germany.

Pretzels

Not just pretzels though… enormous, warm, doughy pretzels of wonder. Where to get them? Literally every single place. Markets, street vendors, nice restaurants, wherever you are, there are also pretzels.
